The Mass Gathering Medicine (MGM) Online Registry Project will help inform the research initiatives of the UBC Department of Emergency Medicine’s Mass Gathering Medicine Interest Group for years to come. It is a multi-disciplinary, multi-agency collaborative which will ultimately serve to improve the level of care that we all provide at races, charity walks, concerts, festivals and other community events.

It is our intent to offer this learning opportunity to resident physicians and senior medical students at UBC. Follow the link to view an outline that describes both a longitudinal formal EM residency elective in Mass Gathering Medicine for FRCPC EM residents as well an opportunity for CCFP(EM) and other residents to participate.
